  • Israel's actions in the Gaza war are under significant legal scrutiny by the UN's International Court of Justice (ICJ).
  • The ICJ issued mandatory precautionary measures for Israel, aimed at alleviating the situation of the civilian population of the Strip and preventing any action considered genocidal.
  • Israel is required to ensure sufficient humanitarian aid for the population and to prevent and punish incitement to genocide within its country.
  • The court has not dismissed the accusation of “genocidal intent” against the Palestinian population.
  • Benjamin Netanyahu is facing an international order, non-compliance with which has significant consequences.
  • Israel's actions in Gaza could lead to a genocide trial and increase its international isolation.

Conclusion: The ICJ's historic ruling marks a significant shift in the international perception and responsibility of Israel regarding its involvement in the Gaza war and its treatment of the Palestinian population.
